The Indinn sprang lo his feet nnd confront ed him.

AVo have succeeded with some difficulty in learning the particulars of a shocking occur rence which took place on the tliimtramck marshes on last Tuesday, in which a boy. eleven years old, was actually eaten up alive bv it bear, wilhin sight ol the city. . 1 tie cir cumstances of the case are ns follows : A man named Joseph Hadeniaclicr, n German, living on Macomb street, between lliviud and Russell, went out on Tuesday morning, in company with a little brother, to pick raspberries. . They carried their dinners with I he in, nnd went sniuu live oi; six miles out, before commencing their day's work. ' 1'aileina-cher depositeil his dinner Initket mid coat on the ground, and employed himself for some time in pii king hemes, when, his attention being attracted by a noise, ho looked around, an I lo his iniense astonishment, saw a large liear, accompanied by three cubs, engaged in devouring his dinner. It was but the worh of a moment tn drop his basket of berries, anil hurry, with his young brother, away fioiii the spot, lie saw two bos not. far from him when he left the spot, but said nothing to them. Helore himself nnd brother had got a safu distance, they heard terrible screams in thu direction they had left, which only served to accelerate their pace, and place ngieutcr distance between them and danger.' They were soon overtaken by one of the boys, who came rushing after thetu in a bewilderment of fright, screaming that tho bear was ea ing up his brother. Rndetnnchcr received this intelli g.mcu in utter dismay, and took to his heels with a will, followed by the two boys, und deserting thu suHurer to. his lu'e. The cowardly rnco soon brought them to the city, when they spread thu alarm, and a large party wns quitkly funned for the rescue, which proceeded to I he sceno of the disaster, accompanied by Radeniacher and thu father of thu unfortunate buy. A long search re-sidled in rinding tho remains of the boy, the bear having eaten up about half of the corpse, and buried the rest for a future inenl. Remnants of his clothes were found scatteicd around, together with Itademueher's coat, lorn to pieces A general hunt was commenced wild a view of finding tho bear, which has been continued up to the present time without success. The boy was Iri.sh or German, we are not certain which. His name also we have been unable to learn, but shall ascertain it to-day. His brother, a boy of thirteen, stated that they almost stumbled over the la-ar before they saw him at nil, when he suddenly tinned willi a savage growl and sei.ed the one w ho was nearest. A word of warning from liudemncher when he commenced his flight would have saved the boy, but he was too frightened to do anything but run. The bear was u largo and powerful one, and must have been excited to great hunger to commit so bold a deed. Thu contemplation of such nn occurrence, hiipiieningulinost within the limits of a city of 70,XHJ inhabitants, is sickening and terrible. V lid bears have liecomu a rarity in most parts of tho Slate, vet we are visited in tho very metropolis by lie that pei put rates a ileea that neiongs to ihu curlv unmils of our history. It is to be hoped that such visits will bo rare in tuiuro 03" The iSfttf Journal in replying to an ar ticle from the Mt. Vernon Banner, charging it with defending Treasurer Gibson, says : ho State Journal has never made a defense of Mr. Gibson for his course in hiding the rob- lierv of the Treasurv, and thu defalcation of lireslin. Ihu nunc Journal nas staieu was. We have not accused Mr. Gibson of taking the public money because we are satisfied I hat he, never took a cent uf it. The robbery was consummated by his predecessor, with the knowledge, if not betoie. certainly sifter t lie fact, of Medill. Morgan, Trevitt & Co., who winked at it, hid it, and denied it : nnd at length helped to re-noniintito the man who had done nil this, and reelect him tor iiuothei term Treasurer of Suite. Their rascalities we have exposed, and intend to still lurtlier ex-n . We have by no means done with them vet. If in exposing Morginism, the nets of .Mr. Uibson do not upper unite so criminal as his enemies desired to have them, it is no fault ol ours. While we have no delunsu to make of Gibson's course, wo shall novur be guilty ol trying to saddle the rascalities of others upon him i ho has enough ol sins to answer for. but stealing tte public ninny is not one of them. The ."rabbling" ol the treasury wasmu woik of his Loeo'bco predecessor, wiih the knowledge of Medill, Morgan, Trevitt & Co., the colleagues of lirc.-liii, and so well satisfied were they with it, that ihey did' (heir best to reelect John G. Itusliii to takj e'.iurgu for two years more, of tho public mo. cy. That was Medill and Morganisin ; Governor Ch.i-o and the Republicans don't go on that truck. (Jr The Mt.

"The Cnnndinn Government has appropria ted $'."0,000 for the exploration of a louto und the construction of a road from Lake Superior to the Red River, a region attracting a good deal or attention among our neighbors. Un Monday week, the main body of thu expedi tion destined to fulfil this duty left Toronto by tho railroad, nnd tho remainder wero to have left or Friday. They will go ns far as Fort Wiltiu'ii, on Lake Superior, in the steam er i'o'lingwdol, nnd thenco by canoes, mana ged by Indians, and by land to their destina tion. i ho party is quite a largo ono, consist ing of 27 individuals, and including Prol. Hind geologic ; W. rapier, engineer, and lour assistants, und fourteen cunne men. Mr. George Ghidman, is director of thu expedition. Sev eral persons accompany the party as far as t'ort William, tor tho benelit ol tho trip, which will occupy nliout twelve days. The Toronto (Hube expresses tho fear that when the survey is concluded by this formidable slufTof engineers ami surveyors, there will I little of the money left for building the road." X hu subject of Ihu above extract, is ono in wlrch our city should take a lively interest. A route from the Atlantic to tho Pacific trav eled ages ago by tho Aborigines, and used by tho French and the hnglish for more than two hundred years in their journeying across this Continent, is now about to bo subdued and a'vt'Hze.t bv Ihu Engineer. The starting point of tho expedition is bad ly selected, it should htivo been fiom the mouth of the Arrow River. Port Charlotte, which is on thu American side of the bounda ry line near the mouth ol the Arrow River, and not Fort William, is the proper silo for tho city, which lieforu long must arise in the region spoken of in the above extract. If this point possessed a genial climate, it would in time become Ihu greatest inland city on the Continent; as it is, it must become a very large town. Without much doubt the first line or Railroad to the Pacil'c, will run from the mouth of Arrow River at Lake Superior, along our Northern boundary at Pugets Sound, W. T. Recent investigations prove this routo favorable for u Railroad ; and to be unexpectedly free from snous. Thus being on the boun dary linu we can reasonably expect aid from England in budding a road so eminently In ternational iust us the two nations are now aiding tho Atlantic Telegraph Company. The city ol Jjullalo ought to take n strong interest in the project of a Pacilic Railroad running West from Laku Superior. The mouth of Arrow liiver being by steamers no further from this city than is Chicago via. the Lakes, but is smiic degrees further West; then again Pugets Sound is East of San Francisco. Uow many of our citizens tiro alive to the im portance to us of a Railroad now in progress Irani Superior City to bt. l'auls, Minn..' tl is but lliO miles long during the season of navigation it will be the grand outlet of Min nesota, nnd over it will pass her importations and exports, adding vastly to the business of the Lakes and ol tins cily.Unff.

It is the duty of the governor to make an apportionment mr tnj territorial eiectitn r. ti ; l.i l nntMwtli n n,,,it uniuntnu i ti fi., u I .. I .. . .... ' would carry the election by a majority of nine-tenths. This result would not suit thupurpose- of tho national Democracy ; a hand, therefore, was resolved on. Gov. Walker, ii his speech at Topckn, used thu following language : " In October next, not under the act of the Territorial Legislature, but under thu law Congress.yoti, the whole people of Kansas, have the right lo elect a delegate to Congiess and to elect a Territorial Legislature " He promised that tho right should bo secured by a " fair and lull election." As ho is President Buchanan's candidate for the next Duranrmtip nnminution, U wcmKl not do, of course, for Walker to execute the contemplated fraud directly. By the bogus laws the Governor is required to make an apportionment before a ffivci dav in June ; but it provides that if he fails to ful.-fill this duty it shall fall to the tn.sk of tlu Speaker of tho House of Delegates, and the President ot tho I erntortnl Council. Governor Walker was familiar with the pro- isions of this act. for ho referred to it in one of his earliest speeches in Kansas. Ho now lodges the execution of tho fraud and permits io Speaker and President to do it. Kemcm her that tho act only says that after a named av in Juno, it mail, not shall be dune by these llicials. Tho Gov. never looses tho power to make this apportionment, and should be sternly held responsible for its character. The apiiortionmont has been made. hat is its character ? Tho Southern part of Kansas South of tho Kansas rivor is the most earnest anti-Slavery portion of the Territory. A recent census shows that a moro fraction of the peo ple thero aro of pro-slavery proclivities. Aortli of tho Kansas the negro driving fanatics havo great strength. The Southern part is densely settled. Douglas county and Johnson county, on the Missouri border, form one electoral district. 1 ho counties of Lynn and Lykins, on tho border also, constitute two other districts. The other counties, south, although thickly settled, are nearly disfranchised. Ameteen counties, containing tcithni tiqht hanlrei of one-half the entire population of Kansas, are alio we. I only three representative!, while tho remaining fourteen counties, north, are allowed tiiirtt-six representatives. Provision has been made- also, in cae of a f.co Siato majority, under circumstances so unfavorable, to bring in manufactured and fraudulent returns from tho Rappaheo country, which is cunningly annexed lo Douglas, be cause Lawrence is in Douglas, and Johnson is near tho 1 ratio purehasc a fertile quarry of votos. If Gov. Walker does not correct this fraud, and if a pro-slavery legislature is chosen by it, the first tune it assembles there will lie a maloiity of tho members haiwl. 1 lie free s'aio men are determined that they will not endure another year's reign of usurpation. Jir this preMctwn I COL. T1TCS. Col. Titus, tho coward of Nicaragua and Kansas notoriety, hag arrived in tho Ten ito-y. Ho was in Lawrence on Saturday. Col Joe Anderson, of Lexington, Missouri, (a mem ber of the Territorial Legislature and tiiu Constitutional Convention) accompanied the returned fillibustor. A free statu prisoi.e , whom he barbarously punished last autumn, followed him to Now Orleans for the purpose of shooting him. Each has seen the other since Titus returned. If Titus should be sud denly sent to the spirit world some day and at an early day you need not be surprisea at the intelligence, lie had better be careful of his health. ELECTION.

Capron, of Illinois, who has beon larcelv concerned in the dairy business, fhavine sold $U,UW worth or milk in a single year,) luioruis us that ho made accurato experiments to test tho comparative value of timothy and clover hay. These experiments extended through a period of two yearn, were accompanied witn accurate weighing and measuring, and the food was changed from timothy to clover, ana v ce versa, once a month, ana results were that the clover hay uniformly yielded ten per cent, more milk than the timothy. It will be observed that this was not a single experiment, but a series of experiments extending for long period. It is also proper t state that the clover was woli ew-d. A J.ke for Selfish Husbmdt.

The coachman stopped, and the footman thinking that the bandbox hnd tumbled out of ths window by some extraordinary chance, were going to pick it up, when Lord Fdlcuborough imiously culled out, "Drivo on!" The bandbox was accordingly left by the ditch side.

In the city we polled 6o4 Totej ; but ono ticket iu tho field of course elected. The Tote for tho Topcka Constitution was GSS-against 2. Not yet heard the result from other places. Porsons who camo into the city W the evening, from other precincts, report' that a full vole was being polled,' almost uuaniinous in favor of the Topka Constitu tion, nnd we have undoubtedly polled as many; thousand votes as thu pro-slavery men did hundreds nt their bogus election for delcjates to.tho constitutional convention. For one, I think everything looks blight for freedom in Kansas. In our number we hard strength.. At one time we were in danger of being divided by Walker. Every ell'ort possible was made lo revive old. party prejudice, and organize, what they culled a "Free State National Democratic party," in opposition to tho Freo State party, w hich Walker and crow delight to denounce as " Black Republicans." But sinco Walker's silly onslaught upon Law-nonce, "none aie left so low as to do him homage." Kven Shannon laughs in his sleeve, and says Walker hns made 'his administration "respectable," and even Clark, Jones and oth ers again hold up their heads as much as to say, " wo have been outdone." CoL Titus," who lull Kansas in disgrace, who was one of, if not the prime mover of all the outrages in Kansas last year, has, sinco Walker's onslaught upou Lawrence, returned to Kansas r' and even appeared publicly, day before yesterday, in Luwtenco, with a lour in his savage, eye, which Spoke moiu than words: "Obliged to you, Sir, Wulker; 1 am respectable again." Such is the eiiect of Walker's course in Kansas. His onslaught upon Luwrenco has turn--ed out as everybody supposed it would, that is "The King of Franco with 4O.0UO tu'er, marched up thu hill, and Uien marched down again." tor about three weeks Walker with SuU dragoons hung upon the outskirts of our city; so little did our peoplo care about tho ull'air, that after the two first days, when the novelty of the thing wore olT a little, that H majority of tho cit.zens could not have told whether Walker had left or not; but there he was the laughing stock of even his friends. . The common soldier made m?rry over his folly, whilst tho people of Lawronco kept about their various pursuits as if nothing bud happened. The Mayor delivered his inauga--ral, tho Alderman proceeded to the passage of , ordinances. Bund continued sprinkling Mas- ' sachusetts street, and the peoplo continued re moving dea l carcasses from the streets, just : as if Walker never had issued a proclamation. . Walker looked on, swore and raved for three long weeks. Recollecting that he had been "solicited to come hero by Buchanan and alt his Cabinet," that all Europe were dumbfoud . ' ded, that he was not sent as a Minister, to-Itussia, that ho had been tho ' eloquent Mis- sissiippi Senator," the Ex Secretary of the Tnaumrv," and th Im1 kieea wtnu not, we " had a right to expect a demonstration worthy " of tho man, and the administration of which-he is tho representative, a demonstration that wvttld lie concurred in by tho " President and " all hisCubiuct." But unfortunately night bo- ' fore lust, couriers came in hot hasto, ib'forai--ing Walker " that a large body of Indians ; , were within a few miles of Fort Riley, that the infantry hnd been driven in, and the Fork ': in imminent danger." Straightway the white tents that had so long dotted West Ltawerencs wore struck, ntid yesterday, Walker with hi .. whole paraphernalia of war, took up his line , of march AV'estward, and Lawrence " is herself again." It is believed here, that the " whole story of tho Indians wasa ruse of Walker and his fiiends, to get himself oat of bad scrape. ' But I am tropassirg ; morn anon. Yours, truly, S.N.WOOD. The dead man'i CastlO. " Close to Utnti Territory, northwest from Sacramento, is a curious reck, called by its discoverers, tho "Dead man's Castle." It " stands on liia edge of a deep, precipitous can- - uon, u about two hundred feet long, rises per pcndinilarly to tho height 61 severity or eighty leet, and at a distance looks as though it might havo been the work of antique giants, ' who had set up turrets and dug but notch- -i es like windows. A stunted cedar stands sentinel on top, but it is old, storm beaten and dionping, und threatens to tumbledown. At the bottom thcio u a small grotto, some twenty lot tin diameter, and extending up, probably, neaily to the top bf tho. rock, wiienco descends a Bmu ftrcain ot water, which has dug out a little reservoir at ths base. Tho voice of the water is sweet and musical ; it has been singing its monotonous song there for a thousand vtars. The name was applied to it from the circumstances some bones, supposed to bo human, being found in ' a cavity of the rock. New Wuciit-riyinoniu ngniunt the World Although great hopes wero entertained of tho yield of tho wheat crop in this vicinity, the 'facts plneo the yield even ahead of expectation. Mr. F.

AVo have succeeded with some difficulty in learning the particulars of a shocking occur rence which took place on the tliimtramck marshes on last Tuesday, in which a boy. eleven years old, was actually eaten up alive bv it bear, wilhin sight ol the city. . 1 tie cir cumstances of the case are ns follows : A man named Joseph Hadeniaclicr, n German, living on Macomb street, between lliviud and Russell, went out on Tuesday morning, in company with a little brother, to pick raspberries. . They carried their dinners with I he in, nnd went sniuu live oi; six miles out, before commencing their day's work. ' 1'aileina-cher depositeil his dinner Initket mid coat on the ground, and employed himself for some time in pii king hemes, when, his attention being attracted by a noise, ho looked around, an I lo his iniense astonishment, saw a large liear, accompanied by three cubs, engaged in devouring his dinner. It was but the worh of a moment tn drop his basket of berries, anil hurry, with his young brother, away fioiii the spot, lie saw two bos not. far from him when he left the spot, but said nothing to them. Helore himself nnd brother had got a safu distance, they heard terrible screams in thu direction they had left, which only served to accelerate their pace, and place ngieutcr distance between them and danger.' They were soon overtaken by one of the boys, who came rushing after thetu in a bewilderment of fright, screaming that tho bear was ea ing up his brother. Rndetnnchcr received this intelli g.mcu in utter dismay, and took to his heels with a will, followed by the two boys, und deserting thu suHurer to. his lu'e. The cowardly rnco soon brought them to the city, when they spread thu alarm, and a large party wns quitkly funned for the rescue, which proceeded to I he sceno of the disaster, accompanied by Radeniacher and thu father of thu unfortunate buy. A long search re-sidled in rinding tho remains of the boy, the bear having eaten up about half of the corpse, and buried the rest for a future inenl. Remnants of his clothes were found scatteicd around, together with Itademueher's coat, lorn to pieces A general hunt was commenced wild a view of finding tho bear, which has been continued up to the present time without success. The boy was Iri.sh or German, we are not certain which. His name also we have been unable to learn, but shall ascertain it to-day. His brother, a boy of thirteen, stated that they almost stumbled over the la-ar before they saw him at nil, when he suddenly tinned willi a savage growl and sei.ed the one w ho was nearest. A word of warning from liudemncher when he commenced his flight would have saved the boy, but he was too frightened to do anything but run. The bear was u largo and powerful one, and must have been excited to great hunger to commit so bold a deed. Thu contemplation of such nn occurrence, hiipiieningulinost within the limits of a city of 70,XHJ inhabitants, is sickening and terrible. V lid bears have liecomu a rarity in most parts of tho Slate, vet we are visited in tho very metropolis by lie that pei put rates a ileea that neiongs to ihu curlv unmils of our history. It is to be hoped that such visits will bo rare in tuiuro 03" The iSfttf Journal in replying to an ar ticle from the Mt. Vernon Banner, charging it with defending Treasurer Gibson, says : ho State Journal has never made a defense of Mr. Gibson for his course in hiding the rob- lierv of the Treasurv, and thu defalcation of lireslin. Ihu nunc Journal nas staieu was. We have not accused Mr. Gibson of taking the public money because we are satisfied I hat he, never took a cent uf it. The robbery was consummated by his predecessor, with the knowledge, if not betoie. certainly sifter t lie fact, of Medill. Morgan, Trevitt & Co., who winked at it, hid it, and denied it : nnd at length helped to re-noniintito the man who had done nil this, and reelect him tor iiuothei term Treasurer of Suite. Their rascalities we have exposed, and intend to still lurtlier ex-n . We have by no means done with them vet. If in exposing Morginism, the nets of .Mr. Uibson do not upper unite so criminal as his enemies desired to have them, it is no fault ol ours. While we have no delunsu to make of Gibson's course, wo shall novur be guilty ol trying to saddle the rascalities of others upon him i ho has enough ol sins to answer for. but stealing tte public ninny is not one of them. The ."rabbling" ol the treasury wasmu woik of his Loeo'bco predecessor, wiih the knowledge of Medill, Morgan, Trevitt & Co., the colleagues of lirc.-liii, and so well satisfied were they with it, that ihey did' (heir best to reelect John G.

"The Cnnndinn Government has appropria ted $'."0,000 for the exploration of a louto und the construction of a road from Lake Superior to the Red River, a region attracting a good deal or attention among our neighbors. Un Monday week, the main body of thu expedi tion destined to fulfil this duty left Toronto by tho railroad, nnd tho remainder wero to have left or Friday. They will go ns far as Fort Wiltiu'ii, on Lake Superior, in the steam er i'o'lingwdol, nnd thenco by canoes, mana ged by Indians, and by land to their destina tion. i ho party is quite a largo ono, consist ing of 27 individuals, and including Prol.

The Toronto (Hube expresses tho fear that when the survey is concluded by this formidable slufTof engineers ami surveyors, there will I little of the money left for building the road." X hu subject of Ihu above extract, is ono in wlrch our city should take a lively interest. A route from the Atlantic to tho Pacific trav eled ages ago by tho Aborigines, and used by tho French and the hnglish for more than two hundred years in their journeying across this Continent, is now about to bo subdued and a'vt'Hze.t bv Ihu Engineer. The starting point of tho expedition is bad ly selected, it should htivo been fiom the mouth of the Arrow River. Port Charlotte, which is on thu American side of the bounda ry line near the mouth ol the Arrow River, and not Fort William, is the proper silo for tho city, which lieforu long must arise in the region spoken of in the above extract. If this point possessed a genial climate, it would in time become Ihu greatest inland city on the Continent; as it is, it must become a very large town. Without much doubt the first line or Railroad to the Pacil'c, will run from the mouth of Arrow River at Lake Superior, along our Northern boundary at Pugets Sound, W. T. Recent investigations prove this routo favorable for u Railroad ; and to be unexpectedly free from snous. Thus being on the boun dary linu we can reasonably expect aid from England in budding a road so eminently In ternational iust us the two nations are now aiding tho Atlantic Telegraph Company. The city ol Jjullalo ought to take n strong interest in the project of a Pacilic Railroad running West from Laku Superior. The mouth of Arrow liiver being by steamers no further from this city than is Chicago via. the Lakes, but is smiic degrees further West; then again Pugets Sound is East of San Francisco.

' would carry the election by a majority of nine-tenths. This result would not suit thupurpose- of tho national Democracy ; a hand, therefore, was resolved on. Gov. Walker, ii his speech at Topckn, used thu following language : " In October next, not under the act of the Territorial Legislature, but under thu law Congress.yoti, the whole people of Kansas, have the right lo elect a delegate to Congiess and to elect a Territorial Legislature " He promised that tho right should bo secured by a " fair and lull election." As ho is President Buchanan's candidate for the next Duranrmtip nnminution, U wcmKl not do, of course, for Walker to execute the contemplated fraud directly. By the bogus laws the Governor is required to make an apportionment before a ffivci dav in June ; but it provides that if he fails to ful.-fill this duty it shall fall to the tn.sk of tlu Speaker of tho House of Delegates, and the President ot tho I erntortnl Council. Governor Walker was familiar with the pro- isions of this act. for ho referred to it in one of his earliest speeches in Kansas. Ho now lodges the execution of tho fraud and permits io Speaker and President to do it. Kemcm her that tho act only says that after a named av in Juno, it mail, not shall be dune by these llicials. Tho Gov. never looses tho power to make this apportionment, and should be sternly held responsible for its character. The apiiortionmont has been made. hat is its character ? Tho Southern part of Kansas South of tho Kansas rivor is the most earnest anti-Slavery portion of the Territory. A recent census shows that a moro fraction of the peo ple thero aro of pro-slavery proclivities. Aortli of tho Kansas the negro driving fanatics havo great strength. The Southern part is densely settled. Douglas county and Johnson county, on the Missouri border, form one electoral district. 1 ho counties of Lynn and Lykins, on tho border also, constitute two other districts. The other counties, south, although thickly settled, are nearly disfranchised. Ameteen counties, containing tcithni tiqht hanlrei of one-half the entire population of Kansas, are alio we. I only three representative!, while tho remaining fourteen counties, north, are allowed tiiirtt-six representatives. Provision has been made- also, in cae of a f.co Siato majority, under circumstances so unfavorable, to bring in manufactured and fraudulent returns from tho Rappaheo country, which is cunningly annexed lo Douglas, be cause Lawrence is in Douglas, and Johnson is near tho 1 ratio purehasc a fertile quarry of votos. If Gov. Walker does not correct this fraud, and if a pro-slavery legislature is chosen by it, the first tune it assembles there will lie a maloiity of tho members haiwl. 1 lie free s'aio men are determined that they will not endure another year's reign of usurpation.

His onslaught upon Luwrenco has turn--ed out as everybody supposed it would, that is "The King of Franco with 4O.0UO tu'er, marched up thu hill, and Uien marched down again." tor about three weeks Walker with SuU dragoons hung upon the outskirts of our city; so little did our peoplo care about tho ull'air, that after the two first days, when the novelty of the thing wore olT a little, that H majority of tho cit.zens could not have told whether Walker had left or not; but there he was the laughing stock of even his friends. . The common soldier made m?rry over his folly, whilst tho people of Lawronco kept about their various pursuits as if nothing bud happened. The Mayor delivered his inauga--ral, tho Alderman proceeded to the passage of , ordinances. Bund continued sprinkling Mas- ' sachusetts street, and the peoplo continued re moving dea l carcasses from the streets, just : as if Walker never had issued a proclamation. . Walker looked on, swore and raved for three long weeks. Recollecting that he had been "solicited to come hero by Buchanan and alt his Cabinet," that all Europe were dumbfoud . ' ded, that he was not sent as a Minister, to-Itussia, that ho had been tho ' eloquent Mis- sissiippi Senator," the Ex Secretary of the Tnaumrv," and th Im1 kieea wtnu not, we " had a right to expect a demonstration worthy " of tho man, and the administration of which-he is tho representative, a demonstration that wvttld lie concurred in by tho " President and " all hisCubiuct." But unfortunately night bo- ' fore lust, couriers came in hot hasto, ib'forai--ing Walker " that a large body of Indians ; , were within a few miles of Fort Riley, that the infantry hnd been driven in, and the Fork ': in imminent danger." Straightway the white tents that had so long dotted West Ltawerencs wore struck, ntid yesterday, Walker with hi .. whole paraphernalia of war, took up his line , of march AV'estward, and Lawrence " is herself again." It is believed here, that the " whole story of tho Indians wasa ruse of Walker and his fiiends, to get himself oat of bad scrape. ' But I am tropassirg ; morn anon. Yours, truly, S.N.WOOD. The dead man'i CastlO. " Close to Utnti Territory, northwest from Sacramento, is a curious reck, called by its discoverers, tho "Dead man's Castle." It " stands on liia edge of a deep, precipitous can- - uon, u about two hundred feet long, rises per pcndinilarly to tho height 61 severity or eighty leet, and at a distance looks as though it might havo been the work of antique giants, ' who had set up turrets and dug but notch- -i es like windows. A stunted cedar stands sentinel on top, but it is old, storm beaten and dionping, und threatens to tumbledown. At the bottom thcio u a small grotto, some twenty lot tin diameter, and extending up, probably, neaily to the top bf tho. rock, wiienco descends a Bmu ftrcain ot water, which has dug out a little reservoir at ths base. Tho voice of the water is sweet and musical ; it has been singing its monotonous song there for a thousand vtars. The name was applied to it from the circumstances some bones, supposed to bo human, being found in ' a cavity of the rock.
